Help Contact not found message

Got an s5 mini.

Adding a contact shortcut to the home screen.

It works for few hours but then, when I press the shortcut I get a message "contact not found". I've tried several times.....

Any ideas?

Hello and welcome to Android Forums mozart999uk :)

You have the Samsung Galaxy S5 Mini and so I have therefore asked our kind, helpful, friendly, sober and upright Mods to move your thread to...

Samsung Galaxy S5 Mini

...forum, where you should receive some specialist help regarding your model

One thing you could try is, in Contacts >Menu (3 dots) > Manage similar contacts... is to merge similar contacts in case that is confusing the shortcut. You could also, in Menu, select Settings > Contacts > Contacts to display... and ensure that you are not using multiple contacts from, say, Google, device, SIM card,etc; that could confuse things.
